PlayStation NotWork

Whatever is going on over at the PlayStation Network seems pretty serious. The company just revealed, via a blog post, that the PlayStation Network may be down for a day or two. Here's the post, from the company's U.S. blog:

"While we are investigating the cause of the Network outage, we wanted to alert you that it may be a full day or two before we’re able to get the service completely back up and running. Thank you very much for your patience while we work to resolve this matter. Please stay tuned to this space for more details, and we’ll update you again as soon as we can."

Sony previously commented that the apparently worldwide network outage may be more than a simple technical error, saying that they are looking into "the possibility of targeted behaviour by an outside party."

The PlayStation Network is down across the globe, with users across Europe and the United States reporting an inability to log in or use the PSN. While Sony says it's looking into the matter, the company acknowledges it could be a cyberattack.

As you are no doubt aware, the current emergency outage is continuing this afternoon and all Sony Online Network services remain unavailable. Our support teams are investigating the cause of the problem, including the possibility of targeted behaviour by an outside party. If the reported Network problems are indeed caused by such acts, we would like to once again thank our customers who have borne the brunt of the attack through interrupted service. Our engineers are continuing to work to restore and maintain the services, and we appreciate our customers’ continued support.
